"I would definitely host it, I would definitely do it! I am sad that Maya left as I was watching it for her but I would give it a go. I’d be up for it! People always want me to go on it as a contestant but, no, with hosting, I would do that!" she told The Sun.
Her mum Katie Price has seemingly thrown her hat in the ring for the job, writing on Instagram: "I would love to present Love Island" and tagging the show's official Instagram account.
Maya announced her exit over the weekend, just hours after it was confirmed she had struck a deal with Netflix.
"What an incredible era and what an unforgettable time I’ve had, it’s been far too much fun to put into words or a video..but as all good things must come to an end, it’s my time to step down as the host of my beloved Love Island," she wrote on Instagram.
"Firstly, I want to thank all of the people who rooted so hard for me to host the show in the first place. I wouldn’t change a thing. To the fans of the show, thank you for every supportive message and every single time you’ve tuned in during my time as host, I’m forever grateful to you all. The show really does belong to the people who watch it and embrace it year after year."
She added: "Biggest thanks to the incredible production team, I’ve seen firsthand how you work your asses off for months every year to bring this iconic show to life.
"I started hosting the show aged 28 and during the 9 incredible series met the most wonderful humans along the way. I’ve loved every slow-mo walk, fire pit and live show.
"I’ll forever be grateful for the experience. But I’ve always believed that to truly grow, you have to take a leap every now and then, and now is my time to throw myself into something new."
Of the exciting new deal with Netflix, Maya added: "I’m absolutely buzzing to be working with Netflix! There are some really exciting things coming and I can’t wait for everyone to see what we’ve been working on. I can’t give too much away just yet, but I’m so excited for this next chapter. Watch this space!"
